Man United legend dismisses Frank Lampard, Jurgen Klopp comparison

Roy Keane has dismissed comparisons between Frank Lampard’s managerial experience at Chelsea and Jurgen Klopp’s first year in charge at Liverpool.

Lampard had highlighted Klopp’s success at Anfield as an example of a club reaping the rewards of being patient with a manager rebuilding a team.

However, Keane reckons the Blues boss cannot compare his situation with that of Klopp’s given the German’s previous success with Borussia Dortmund.

Keane told Sky Sports: “If you look at Frank’s situation, coming into management, he’s new to it, he’s 42 years of age and we’re comparing Klopp. Remember Klopp came from Dortmund and won big prizes over there.

“I know that’s the name of the game, the Ancelottis in the world, the Mourinhos, Pep – he’s up against all these managers and we’re saying he needs patience and time, but these lads have got a CV behind them, they’ve won the big prizes.

“He won’t get the time Klopp got.”
